{{Cquote|That’s about my little brother. He’s an interesting character. It’s kind of about how he’s different. He has physical handicap, it’s hard to explain. He has a rare chromosomal disorder, it gives him a some what different genetic make up. He has different physical and mental problems and yet somehow by all accounts, I’m physically and mentally OK. But I feel our lives are the similar. (Similar in the way that we are both) Freaks of nature, freaks of society, I always keep going back to something by Henry Miller. No matter how much he smiled, told jokes, shook hands, patted people on the back. People still looked at him funny, they still sensed something wasn’t right.

"Spaceboy" also features Corgan playing the [[W:Mellotron|Mellotron]]. An alternate version of this song (most commonly seen in the unofficially released collection of rarities [[Mashed Potatoes|''Mashed Potatoes'']]) features Pink Floyd-esque slide guitar playing in the chorus instead of the Mellotron.
